The hint : Where ships go to rest.
The clue: This Wordle begins and ends with consonants.
Yesterday’s Custom Wordle Answer: TRAITOR
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer.
After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
Green : The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
Yellow : The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
Gray : The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses.
Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle.
Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator.

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game.

BEAST was not a great opener today, leaving me with 251 words and a lonely yellow “A” and CHOIR only slashed that to 6.
Which was fine, but still not close enough.
Thankfully CANDY left me with just one: CANAL for the win!
Competitive Wordle Score
I get 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot (-2 for 2XP Friday.)
The Bot gets 1 for guessing in three and 1 for beating me (4 for 2XP Friday).
Wordle Bot : 12 points
How To Play Competitive Wordle
Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
If you beat your opponent you get 1 point.
If you tie, you get 0 points.
And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point.
Add it up to get your score.
Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.
Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day.
Enjoy!
Today’s Wordle Etymology
“Canal” comes from Latin canalis , meaning “pipe,” “channel,” or “groove,” from canna (“reed”).
